Junior Racing League
America's first youth
drone racing league
The Alpha Drones USA Junior Racing League (ADUSA JRL) is the first professional racing league for children aged 8-21, capitalizing on young people’s natural ability to master gaming and modern technology. This STEM-focused league provides professional training where students build drone hardware from scratch, program software, and complete flight lessons. Upon completion, students compete in scholarship racing competitions, with winners securing scholarships for any college, university, or vocational program of their choosing!
Our drone technology and crew
Alpha Drones USA serves as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the racing drones used in our professional training and scholarship racing competitions, with focus on the Alpha Drones First Person View (FPV) racing drone. Our FPV Racing Drones are electrically powered with all associated parts included in self-building kits, capable of speeds up to 50mph with precise maneuvering as commanded by the remote pilot. Mastering these fun yet complex drones prepares junior racers with adequate skills to serve as future commercial drone operators.
All JRL crewmembers are qualified trainers from the Alpha Drones USA training department who serve as FAA licensed Drone Pilots and well-trained, experienced professionals wearing safety vests and hard hats while maintaining compliance with federal, state and local laws. Pricing is determined equally for all school systems across the United States, as we currently accept JRL participants solely from school districts wanting to contract our professional STEM drone training program for students competing in scholarship drone races. You can enroll through our website form or schedule a consultation, and we’ll contact you within 48 hours so you can speak directly with an active Alpha Drones USA pilot rather than a salesperson.
